I'm a current senior at Vel Phillips memorial high school I think it is a great school has a lot of activities to do and the people there make it great. Also the teachers care a lot about you

The programs are good and helpful. Most teachers are nice and there are lots of opportunities for things and lots of classes to take so it's been excellent.

Vel Phillips Memorial High School is overall a great school. I love all the clubs it has and the various resources it provides for its students. The best part for me was hanging out with my friends during lunch. I do not like how much homework I am given and how I am expected to know everything that is given to me.

Coming from a junior at Memorial, This school is heavily restricted and pure learning-focused. This school treats us like we are five year olds. Only clean music, no free time, and no games unless it says “EDUCATION” in big bold letters and is recommended by at least 500 moms on Facebook. This place...

I would rate Memorial 100% better than Verona School District can and has!!!
